11:34 am
how does that make us look? does it help or hurt our image? >> our image could not get much worse than it already is. the muslim brotherhood said we will welcome everybody to the table. they got in power. a country was very progressive. i think maybe it is not unconditional aid. i think our aid ought to be humanitarian. it is the kind of leverage that we ought to be influencing.

if we do nothing, guess who will be showing up very soon with a checkbook. they do not want to see the muslim brotherhood take power again. i think americans need to understand that this is islam x versus islam x. it requires americans not just suddenly say that is one group of islam x. dagen: right. you have to ask yourself, do you not governor, what do you get if you do that. does it improve your relationship with the military. do you put israel at risk? it seems to be as stable as it can get.

12:04 pm

12:07 pm
i know obamacare has had setback after setback. they could be confident enough to get back to business. >> it's been a very low tough slog to finish up dodd-frank implementation. look, in defense of the regulators, they were handed a huge task in implementing dodd-frank with 13 or 14 titles, hundreds of pages long like the health care bill referenced, and it takes a long time to get this done and get it done right. i think the president is trying to speed them along a little bit. he has to be very careful though because several of the agencies meeting with are independent agencies. white house is not supposed to be having an active role, but a-political independent of the white house. we can encourage them to speed up the process, but they have to be careful pushing too much on policy prescriptions. >> yeah, peter barnes, turn it over to the ben bernanke replacing ben. now, bloomberg did a survey of economists saying janet yellen
12:08 pm
is the political candidate, but political wonks have another guy in mind with larry summers, what do you say? >> i agree with that. right now, as i said, it looks like larry summers to lose. he is still, even though he left the white house at the end of 2010, a trusted adviser to the president on economic issues. they still talk frequently. the president does not appear to know janet, the vice chair of the fed, the other leaning candidate, and i note, also, the 633 economists surveyed by bloomberg, i looked at the names, they are fed alums. >> yeah, brian, what do you think -- which candidate is better received by members of the fed versus though better received by wall street? >> for the fed, janet. just pure familiarity aspects. she's part of the fed, has been for quite some time, ran the san
12:09 pm
fransisco fed for several years, vice chairman in dc of the board. they know her. there's a familiarity. on the familiarity side, i think wall street feels a little bit more comfortable with summers because they know him, working on wall street, and interacted. it's familiarity. that's just a short term thing. i think the issues of familiarity and who you feel comfortable with pass with time, and pass fairly quickly as the new chairman takes over and puts their stamp on what the fed's going to look like. >> yeah, peter barnes, i think wall street views summers as the more political adviser to the president, and therefore wonder if he's willing to do policies the president likes? >> yeah, in fact, larry summers was the architect of the legislation that passed in dodd-frank when he was here. remember, passed in 2010 when he was still the president's economic advisers, so i think that the president made clear in
12:10 pm
his press conference before he left for his vacation what he is looking for, and in a new fed chairman, and if it's lair summers, again, someone he trusts, he's going to give larry marching orders even though the fed should be independent. >> yeah, go ahead. that point, you know, i think the hill, especially hill democrats, senate democrats, are going to push either candidate, especially summers, to really defend and aggressively implement dodd-frank. it's, in some ways, answering more to the hill than it will be to the white house because of the independence that peter just mentioned 37. >> all right. thank you very much, both of you. good day. >> workers protesting for higher minimum wage demanding ceo pay be cut. we have a new study that argues against it. >> as al jazeera america is on air tomorrow, advertisers are not touching it. the story coming up in media

12:24 pm
certainly worse aerodynamics on it. other vehicles that do the same sort of thing or a different vehicle, but get the same mpgs? look at vox -- volkswagon, their version both get the same mpgs as well, even though they are different vehicles, and when tested independently, the golf and sports wagon got better than the epa standards, good news. if you contrast that with the chevy traverse, for example, they also, even though they are different vehicles, look at the two vehicles, they are both suvs, one bigger than the other, the equinox, both and the traverse with 19 combined mpg, but when consumer reports tested them, found the equinox got 18, the traverse 16. no surprise, traverse is bigger, getting less fuel economy. i'll tell you, the auto makers have done well this year, tremendously well. if you look, for example, at

toyota, from 80 at the beginning of the year to now 130, up 57%. gm was 22 at the start of the year, and now up to around $34 a share, ford 10 at the beginning of the year, 16 now. they all had a great year. tell you, ford has to pay the owners and the leases what could be as much as $17 million to compensate them for these bad mpg numbers, and, you know, that follows honda or hyundai and kia who had to do it last year. could there be more lurking mpg problems out there? at this point, we don't know, but it wouldn't be a good thing. >> all right. jeff flock, you know, it's important for us to get the exact ratings on the exact cars and not have them filling in one for the other. that was like a five-eight brunette taking my sat test for college. yaw can't interchange those.

salaries. it does not make it any more intellectually honest, though. dennis: the vast majority of the big increase is because of stock options. the preview generation of performers wanted it tied to the stock performance. >> that is right. i think you are absolutely right. i think that the ceos pay issue is different than the minimum wage issue. the thing of it is, we have nonbinding union votes. again, nonbinding. they need to work with the companies themselves.

officers. that does not do much for the brotherhood. it really shocked the egyptian people. it was the army that was being seared at that time. all of a sudden, we get a curveball this morning. the former president who was deposed in 2011, but had run egypt for more than 30 years may be freed from jail. his lawyer says he now may be released. whether that happens or not is a little bit more shaky in the sense of what the army -- it

providing aid. does it have wiggle room on that? >> according to them, they do. i think that the law is actually pretty clear. at some point, there will be a new obligation of money. the reality is, it isn't very much symbolic. this is really a political statement. congress could turn around and reinstate it the next day. the aid is a statement of we understand that you are trying to put the country back on track. if you cut it off, you are just abandoning. the only people that really help is the muslim brotherhood.
